...trying to move legislation they hoped would build an Hispanic Republican voting bloc...

Talk about your pipe dreams.

[Man50D]

Now is not the time to let up. We need to pressure our politicians to enforce the existing immigration laws including deporting illegal aliens, building the fence and prosecuting businesses who do business with illegal aliens. The link below is a ping list to pay attention for other questionable legislation being considered in Congress.

Keeping Track Of The Congress Critters

[hardback]

Pundits need to stop repeating this erroneous Rove hope as fact. Polls show most illegals are voting 70-30/80-20 Democratic

[Betty Jane]

We all need to hound our local pols to enforce the laws also. We need to attend their meetings and voice our opinions. Report zoning, employment, traffic. loitering, noise violations every time we see one. Call the cops and ice on suspected illegals and their employers. Let the mayors and councilman know that their jobs are on the line if they offer any type of excuses or sanctuary for illegals.

[hardback]

Build that fence, Mr. Bush!

[Cracker Jack]

How are they going to manage the message in the presidential election, when more and more people out there are looking elsewhere for details?

What an awful problem!!! (/s)

[dead]

The pillars of the mainstream press, the New York Times and the Washington Post, covered the debate like a horse race, offering few details.

What a shock.

If the readers of the New York Times were interested in interested in a critical, unflinching analysis of any actual issues, they wouldn't be reading the New York Times.

“the ideological Washington Times...” As if the Buffalo News isn’t an ideological, agenda-driven rag, and as if this writer was an empty slate with no opinions. What a load.

[Cracker Jack]

Pundits need to stop repeating this erroneous Rove hope as fact. Polls show most illegals are voting 70-30/80-20 Democratic

Why does no one seem particularly concerned that illegals are voting at all? Every time an illegal vote is cast, some legal voter is disenfranchised.

Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!

I find it amusing that MSM pollers know where to find the illegals. Shouldn’t they report them in?

[theDentist]

Yup. The idea of the illegals voting R is ludicrous. That’s like believing that an extra 200 galvanized pails would have kept the Titanic afloat.

[zerosix]

"...the ideological Washington Times..."

Ideological, indeed. If one does not agree with any of the empty suits in D.C. or the MSM "pretty boys and girls," one is "ideological" in their haughty eyes.

Thank God for "ideological" types in the Washington Times, talk radio and bloggesphere, lest that vermin would have pulled off one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on the American citizens, while referring to the great unwashed among us as "racists, bigots, anti-Hispanic, anti-immigrant, nativitists!"

[hophead]

The true test of all the Senate is this. If parts of the failed immigration amnesty bill were so important, they will be introduced as separate items. Like “border security”, which in reality is like “social security”, a farce. “Guest” worker program. Guests are invited and know when to leave. Work place enforcement of existing laws. Enforce them like you implied you would the new laws you proposed.

[GOPJ]

To the conservative media, Schumer and Graham symbolized the enemy. Hours later, the senators’ cause was lost. And the new media — websites, e-mails, conservative talk radio and television — scored their most clearcut victory since the reelection of President George W. Bush in 2004.

Ummm, nope. Most clearcut victory since the defeat of Harriet Myers...

[hardback]

Well said.

[CT]

I’ll be willing to call the Washington Times ‘conservative media’ if you are willing to call yourselves ‘liberal media.’

YEA!!

[Gideon T. Reader]

That does pose an interesting question.
I believe the answer is the candidates are going to have to suck it up, put their chips in red or black, and sit for in-depth and probative interviews of policy and positions with the “NEW Media”, and exactly the personalities they fear most, i.e., Savage, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Hannity, etc.

They need and fear at the same time these venues, and if they (serious candidates such as Obama and Clinton are going to have to show that there is something inside the suit or pantsuit, and be on the record for a change.

Same thing goes for the right or alleged to be right candidates.
Issues such as Immigration, Border Security Defense, Abortion, and fiscal policy, those same issues that is needed to be addressed by the left, NEEDS to be addressed and the position anchors need to be manacled to the legs of Romney, of Giuiliani and of Thompson; the only viable right side candidates.

On five or six consecutive Monday nights in prime time Brit Hume needs to sit with a candidate (drawn by lots) for one hour at a table and discusse in-depth, the positions and beliefs of a particular candidate. No handlers. No prompters. No bullshit! No spin!!! The interview becomes the touchstone and benchmark of the particular candidate and all else is spin.
No Chris Mathews spitballs. No Larry King Softballs, a la favorites color or what do you like on a hot dog. Just as Sgt.Joe Friday would say,.."Just the facts Mam. Just the facts!"
